Le Mon d' Ray







When the four of us were kids we did a lot of teasing and my
oldest brother would give us nicknames and then shorten them
to initials so we knew what he meant, but it was private.
I can't (or, won't) say here what ICBB or BSIS stood for,
but it was all good fun. I had my own initials for my big brother.
Here is a poem I wrote about him years ago.
He is still my hero...


My BBB

About seven years my senior,
He's 'My Big Brother Bill'.

A source of awe; of strength and love
Since I was just a pill.

He's big & rough & tough & gruff,
But his heart is purest gold,

My admiration and respect
He will forever hold...

And he can do most anything;
There's not much he doesn't know.

He's confident, but not too proud,
If he doesn't know; he'll tell you so.

I'm so proud to be his sister
And though I know it's plain to see,

Maybe I don't say it enough...
I Love 'My BBB'...


With Love from your Sis, Mary (PIA)
